A little more data for the fact that the rationalizing animal is most likely to do what the other rationalizing animals do. Social Network Sways Vaccine Compliance has strong numbers for people preferring their social group's advice to scientific advice. Referring to people who choose not to vaccinate their children as nonconformers, they note, "the most striking difference between the conformers' and nonconformers' people networks was that 72% of the nonconformers' network members also were in favor of nonconformity, while only 13% of conformers' network members held that view."
